A barge 8m wide, 16m long, and 4m high is transporting in sea water (SG=1.03) with a total load of 1500 kN (including its own weight and cargo). It floats vertically until an external force hit the scow resulting to a shifting of 100 kN (from the 1500 kN) at a distance 2.50m to one side causing the barge to go down 45 cm in the immersed wedge. Determine the a. distance in meters from the metacenter to the center of buoyancy b. distance in meters from the waterline to the cg of the loaded barge c. buoyancy moment in kN-m
